 @cnx:loang.net | developers have been spoiled with really powerful amd64 compooters, laptops from almost a decade ago are still really usable today and they're much more powerful than the mid-level risc-v soc we've seen so far | 17:37:17 |
 Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | In reply to @cnx:loang.net
the jh7110 is very well mainlined, but true it's quite weak for a laptop not that it's weak for a laptop but that it's "profile" (if you can even call it that) is RV64GC which is very basic | 17:44:01 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | while the "real" profiles which will be on servers (yes they're coming soon) will be using RVA23 | 17:44:30 |
 Tristan Ross | What's the difference between RVA23 and RV64GC? | 17:46:35 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | Which has all the fancy extensions and more importantly, platform features like Sv57 | 17:47:06 |

https://github.com/riscv/riscv-profiles/blob/main/src/rva23-profile.adoc Oh nice | 17:47:54 |
| Tristan Ross | Floating points and vectors will be great to have | 17:48:23 |
| Tristan Ross | Hopefully chips go with a good implementation of things in the silicon | 17:48:56 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | before I log off; think of RV64GC as Arm-v8 and RVA23 as SBBR or whatever they call their Server Platform base thingy | 17:49:18 |

Floating points and vectors will be great to have g already contains imafd ;) | 17:49:46 |

before I log off; think of RV64GC as Arm-v8 and RVA23 as SBBR or whatever they call their Server Platform base thingy Ooh, hopefully this brings RISC-V chips a bit closer to being more performant | 17:51:22 |

g already contains imafd ;) Didn't realize that | 17:51:31 |

Didn't realize that More precisely, G is shorthand for IMAFD_Zicsr_Zifencei. | 18:21:37 |
| Tristan Ross | Oh, I know zicsr and zifencei | 18:35:38 |

 Mic92 | We are just one pull request away from having our first image for nixos-anywhere: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/321991 | 13:27:36 |
| Mic92 | However I currently don't have hardware that I can kexec on, so I would appreciate if someone could run a test of it. | 13:28:08 |
| Mic92 | Image itself will be here: https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-images/pull/243 | 13:28:19 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | Oh wow, didn't know we came this far! | 13:29:14 |
| Mic92 | nix-community.cachix.org will than also cache some core-components for cross compiling NixOS from x86 to riscv64. | 13:29:20 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | *we've come | 13:29:20 |
 [0x4A6F] | Currently not near my devices. But it is build and I will check soonish. | 14:04:18 |

nix-community.cachix.org will than also cache some core-components for cross compiling NixOS from x86 to riscv64. What about cross compiling from aarch64 to riscv64? | 04:20:53 |
| @cnx:loang.net | why x86 and aarch64 when amd64 chips with good single thread perf are much more common? | 09:34:12 |

why x86 and aarch64 when amd64 chips with good single thread perf are much more common? I'm pretty sure amd64 is what Mic was referring to when they said "x86". | 10:48:28 |
